The album Original Pirate Material & this track did push things forward. The fusion of Reggae, Garage, Drum n Base etc with an unapologtically UK spittin style really carved out some new musical space for a lot of the grime writing etc that followed after that was social commentary, beyond the garage 2step club/party scene.

The Madmax inspired music video is a good laugh & well worth a watch. I always find myself both thinking I'd take more of the DnB section, but also this '98 track was cleverly packaging Drum n Base for people who hadn't tried it. Small enough bites to get used to the idea. Leave them wanting more.

Incidentally the Apollo 440 remix is great, but you'll miss the vid.

Check the quality of writing & delivery on council estate (London) life from Plan B. Music video really backs up the track.

A grimey hiphop DnB banger of a track with a lot to say about the settings of the 2011 riots sparked from the police shooting of Mark Duggan.

YouTube - Faithless - Mass Destruction (Official Video)

Trip hop legends Faithless blending a mass of influences, indie rock, trip hop, DnB in this track. Listen close and you catch the drum & base flavours spicing the beats. RIP Maxi Jazz.

Keeps it fresh with the mix of sections & influences swirling around in this track from last year. Vocals, synth, drum n base flowing in and out & what sounds like maybe Kayagum or similar adding to the eastern vibes.

Massive dirty bass attack track from Andy C, love how it peaks, then reigns it back, then builds again.

The original is an absolutely banging classic track but I think you can love the uptempo shifted Drum & Bass remix as well.
